An MRO issue may explain the rupture of a Rolls-Royce XWB-97 fuel hose that led a Cathay Pacific Airbus A350-1000 crew to return to Hong Kong, EASA says.

Bureaucratic issues triggered by the UK’s exit from the EU mean British cargo carrier One Air is having to send its Boeing 747s all the way to the U.S. for heavy maintenance.

Malaysia Airlines has found a defect in high-pressure fuel hoses on an Airbus A350-900, an aircraft variant not covered by an EASA Emergency AD requiring checks of these components.

EASA plans to release an emergency airworthiness directive (AD) requiring Airbus A350 operators to perform one-time inspections of their aircraft.

The airline is planning significant MRO growth as it prepares for an expanded fleet and its impending Vistara merger.

Cathay Pacific has begun replacing problematic engine components on 15 of its Airbus A350s following unscheduled inspections triggered by a flight turnback.

A malfunctioning angle-of-attack (AOA) sensor played a central role in the crash of a Gazpromavia SSJ100 regional jet on July 12, an investigation shows.

Cathay Pacific has initiated an inspection of all 48 of its Airbus A350s after a problem with an engine component was discovered, resulting in cancelations.
